Sweet Source Farmstead

Wishing our Farmer Levi the happiest of birthdays! Here is a throwback of him barefoot and learning to plant with Granddaddy. He had multiple tractor themed birthdays when he was younger. Today his favorite farm activity is hanging out with his chickens. His favorite food that the farm produces is strawberries. 🍓 🐓🚜 Join us in wishing him a happy birthday! 🎉🎈🎂

Jesse is making progress on the DIY walk in refrigerator.

Story time! Farmer Jesse always plants a small section of peas for me and my mom. Growing up I remember a bunch of us would gather out by the barns at Granny’s house. We would sit together and shell peas, snap green beans, or shuck corn. Mom and I both still love shelling peas. I told her last night that it is the ultimate fidget toy. So grab some peas, turn on an audio book, and get ready to relax. 🫛💚

Should I convince Farmer Jesse to grow more peas next season so that they are available for the community?

Hi friends! We had a lovely time giving tours yesterday. Please reach out to schedule a tour in advance as we don’t want to miss you. We do not yet have scheduled “open” hours.

Also please do not drive around or in the fields. Unfortunately someone drove in the field today where there are tiny seedlings growing. Again we would love to show you around, just give a call.

You have asked and we have listened. If you want to pick up at the farm here is what you need to know. We will be doing pick up orders Wednesdays - Saturdays. Please note the cut off times for ordering.

Typically what we posted as available at the FV Growers Market is what we are harvesting. However don’t hesitate to send a message to ask what is available.

Heads up!! Time change for the market. We are going to summer hours 8 am - 12 pm starting this Saturday. Set your clocks so you don’t miss those new onions. 🧅
